Threepipe To Support Ask Italian Grand Tour
Ask Italian has appointed Threepipe to support the Ask Italian Grand Tour, a series of fundraising challenges throughout the UK to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
The activities, held throughout September, will see staff and members of the public join celebrities to take part in cycling, walking and triathlon challenges that will visit each of Ask Italian’s restaurants in a bid to raise £250,000.
Cat Kebbeh, ASK Italian Grand Tour project manager: ‘The ASK Italian Grand Tour is part of our ongoing commitment to raise £1 million for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and we are keen to raise not just money but also awareness of our partnership with the charity, which is benefiting so many families across the UK.’
Money raised by the event will go towards funding Great Ormond Street Hospital’s new Surgery Centre, due to open in 2017.
Jim Hawker, Co-Founder, Threepipe, added: ‘This is such a great cause and there will be lots of fun and also emotional stories that will come to life in the build up to and during the Tour. We will be creating a campaign which will drive registrations and participation in the Tour as well as donations.’
Starting in Aberdeen on 9th September and finishing at Great Ormond Street Hospital on 27th September, the Ask Italian Grand Tour will follow a route that snakes its way through Scotland, Wales and England.
